Actually I thought you couldnt attack when in a sitting position. I used to charm aggressive mobs and force them to sleep so they wouldnt attack, and then wake them, force em to stand, and move one room and make them sleep again. Do this fast enough and you can move and agressive mob from one place to another without him attacking anyone. I assume this worked for sitting mobs as well. > As I have posted before, I've never worked with the MERC code MOBprogs > but such triggers and such really seemed like a nice addition to areas > without requiring detailed C knowledge. MobProgs looks like a great way to make special procedure stuff easier for builders to do and thus "personalize" mobs quite a bit more... BTW, any news on Circle v3.0? A test version up perhaps that we can playtest and debug. I recall the last estimate was that it was to be done by Feb 15, but I assume jelson is hard at work...... :) _O_ Ryan L.
